Tucows (NASDAQ: TCX) noted earnings this afternoon.

Tucows Domains revenue declined 2% year over year to $64.1 million. The Wholesale and Value Added Services segments both declined, but the retail business grew slightly.

Although revenue was down, gross profit for domains increased by 2% to 18.6 million.

The firm stated the contribution from its expired domain name inventory moderated compared to the same quarter a year ago. Additionally, it completed the migration of the Radix registry portfolio to its registry services platform in mid-March. Revenue from that business flows through its Wholesale segment.

Tucows ended the quarter with 21.5 million domains under management, counting domains on other firms’ accreditations registered through the Tucows platform.
